Mechanics of Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures

Mechanics of Magnetostrictive Materials and Structures demonstrates the practical applications and uses for cutting-edge smart magnetostrictive materials. Exploring the analytical and numerical solution procedures and characteristics of these materials more generally, the book details how these materials respond to external factors. Exceptionally adjustable and adaptable, magnetostrictive materials are artifcial structures that offer distinctive physical properties. Providing clear illustrations throughout, this book includes a comprehensive guide to the theory and its applications. Presenting the mathematical tools needed to analyze magnetostrictive materials and structures, through the use of MATLAB®, the book will also detail static analysis. Comprehensively assessing the practicalities of these smart materials, it also discusses vibration and buckling under different loads, alongside dynamic behavior.

Features:

• Includes MATLAB® for analytical and numerical simulations relevant to mechanics of magnetostrictive materials
• Presents vibration analysis of magnetostrictive materials and structures
• Demonstrates and analyzes the effect of implementing boundary conditions on the mechanical responses of magnetostrictive structures
• Examines the use of smart materials in engineering structures

Aimed at students and professionals working in the field of mechanics, materials and dynamics, the book is an essential guide to this rapidly developing area.
